reality news littles
When we touch the foundation of the reality of the good news of God, we will never bother Him anymore with little personal complaints.

God's purpose is not to perfect me to make me a trophy in His showcase; He is getting me to the place where He can use me. Let Him do what He wants.
two people cost
Obedience to the call of Christ nearly always costs everything to two people- the one who is called, and the one who loves that one.
faith real inspiration
Think of the enormous leisure of God! He is never in a hurry. We are always in such a frantic hurry. In the light of the glory of the vision we go forth to do things, but the vision is not real in us yet; and God has to take us into the valley, and put us through fires and floods to batter us into shape, until we get to the place where He can trust us....

real character work-out
Faith by its very nature must be tried, and the real trial of faith is not that we find it difficult to trust God, but that God's character has to be cleared in our own minds. Faith in its actual working out has to go through spells of unsyllabled isolation... 'Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.' - this is the most sublime utterance of faith in the whole of the Bible.

Sanctification means more than being freed from sin. It means the deliberate commitment of myself to the God of my salvation, and being willing to pay whatever it may cost.

When you have learned to walk in the light of the Lord, bitterness and contention are impossible.
mean reality sincerity
Sincerity means that the appearance and the reality are exactly the same.
